My Promise

DAMON'S POV

Being away from my girls was hard... two weeks I've not seen them, I've not spoken to them. It was the worse two weeks of my life. Me Elena and Stefan was hiding out elsewhere, as was Kol, Davina, marcel and Bex... we split. Makes it hard for them to trace the children. I didn't even know if they were still alive. 

I've not even been home since encountering Victoria. We were just chilling at a Bar trying to talk Rick into coming home and then poof everyone in there was asleep and she was waving her hands around. And things and us were flying around. She kept asking where Eli and Elle was but none of us were willing to talk. The Manor as well as the Mikealson home were both Cloaked so there was no way she'd be able to track them down. But then she put two and two together. The Manor was the only other home Bella would go to... That, the Salvatore Boarding house and what is now known as the Mikealson house so I needed to get my girls safe. After pulling a wooden stake out of my thigh I called her. I was glad she wasn't busy with Eli and missed my call. 

But I was over it. I was over hiding and plotting and planning and I just wanted to see my girls. So today we are meeting at a diner. So Stef can see his girls and I can see mine and Elena can see her friends, finally. We were waiting outside the diner in the car now. The girls we walking from the place they were staying. They had taken Hope to the park this morning. I guess being in the car wasn't fun for her and she needed time to run around but it worried be that they were exposed. 

"They're there." Elena pointed them out. I smiled at the sight of my wife in the classic sundress her long hair tied back in a pony which was unusual for her but it looked nice regardless, she could pull anything off.  She was holding our baby close to her, I could just see her little leg poking out of the cotton summer blanket. "My girls." I say to myself but I'm sure the others heard.

We scope out the area make sure nothing is going on before getting out the car. "They're there." Stef said rushing off infant of us. "Go ahead." Elena said and I went to my wife and child. I held them both close showering them with kisses. "I missed you so much." Bella said to me holding me tightly. "I missed my girls too." I tell her , we slide into the booth at the back of the diner. We all order something. "You have beautiful children." The lady said as she set Hope stack of pancakes down. "Thank you." "How old are they?" "The twins are 2 months, nearly three." "She's 4... almost five." "And-" Bella stopped me from taking. "What?" "I thought I told you to stay away from us?" She said flatly. "I've never been on to listen... besides that baby shouldn't even be alive." 

How was this happening right now? I stood up putting myself between my wife and child and her mother, if you'd even call her that. "What do we do?" I hear Caroline whisper. No one replied, I don't think anyone really had a plan. I was being moved away from the group not by my own will. And I watched from a distance as she reached out of my child. Bella sat calming, holding her with enough grip to not let anything happen to her. In a split second Elena stabbed the women hand with a fork and she screamed in pain giving Care and Hayley Enough time to get out of the Booth. Bella and Elena were trapped in. And Bonnie and Stefan stayed still.

"Mum please don't do this." "It's unnatural... you're unnatural." "I didn't do anything wrong." "You should have died! When Rose Died it should have been you. You were the weaker one. You were the rebellious one." "I just wanted to live." She said sounded like she was about to cry. Three thingsI have known Elle to fear; her mother, Her father and wolves. She reverted back to that child state she was in when she was trapped and hurt by them. "You didn't deserve to Live! Your child doesn't deserve to live!" She said reaching for her again Elle kicked her back so she flew from the table and came over to me. I wrapped my arms around her. 

"Breathe." "I can't. I can't" She tells me, she was in such a state. "Bella, I know you're scared right now. But you need to keep it together for her sake." I say getting her to focus on the child in her arms. "You need to hold to together for 5 minutes Bella."
